Author's note

Opalo is a free curly display font with a light, hand-drawn rhythm and a slightly Art Nouveau feel. The letters move in long, airy strokes, while the small hooked and leaf-like flicks repeat across the design and give it a gentle ornamental character without making it fussy.

It suits boutique branding, cafe menus, book covers, greeting cards, and poster titles where a soft decorative voice feels right. As a free font, Opalo works best in short words, logo-style lettering, and cover lines, because those sweeping lines and tiny flourishes give even simple text a distinctly crafted mood.

If you want to use Opalo for commercial use I only ask for an email telling me about the project where you are using it and an image of the outcome.

Thanks
